Second Mix – TOAST & CHEESE … let me know what you think

Is this how you mix or is it just a mash up to do a mash up? Beatmatching is a little loose, as I’m sure you know. My advice would be to correct in smaller increments because it sounds like you’re too fast one second and then too slow the next. I also think the overall vibe of the two tracks is clashing. The transition at 4:06 doesn’t really sound great, the flow isn’t natural and it sounds like you’re doing an auto fade (it could be one of the tracks doing it I don’t really know) even though I know you aren’t. There’s my 2 cents, hope it helps, take it with a grain of salt.

I’ve found that beginners get apprehensive when mixing and settle for slow fades when sometimes they just need to cut it out. Don’t settle for a compromise, just go for what you want and if it doesn’t work out try something different.

Basically, what you made was a mash up. You took 2 tracks and put them together to make one. When you mix you play an entire set for some period of time. I can’t really offer any advice on mash ups, I’ve never made one and I have no interest in them. From a djing perspective I would want to see how you transition from one track to the next. In the interest of a dj set, the back forth nature of what you did would begin to irritate your audience after a while. In my opinion, when you’re starting out I would recommend working on intro/outro mixing from one track to the next and after you nail that you can move on to more complicated things like live mash ups, etc.
